I haven't done a week in photos for a long time here on my blog so I thought it would be nice to share with you all what I've been up to over the past two weeks. I traveled down to London over the Easter weekend for my sisters birthday. Whilst in London, I decided to take a trip to Shoreditch and central London in search for some things for my holiday which was a nice change from shopping in Birmingham or online. Luckily, I found a few bargain buys whilst on my search including a few vintage pieces from Beyond Retro. (blog post on my Shoreditch experience will be posted soon)

Once I was back in Birmingham, it was time for me to pick up my final printed dissertation and business plan for my course. Such an exciting/ nerve-racking time but I was really happy with the outcome once we picked it up from the printers. Me and my best friend then decided to celebrate finally printing and completing our dissertations with cocktails at The lost and Found.

One of my favourite trends for S/S 14 is all white. The
trend was adopted by many on the S/S 14 catwalk including Ralph Lauren, Sass
and Bide, Emilio Pucci and Roberto Calvalli. The trend has now began to hit high
street stores. I feel this look can be worn day or night nonetheless, the white
combined with a lace on a hot summer’s day will deliver for the perfect look for sophisticated
day wear.

Not a lot of people know this
but I am a big fan of the marvel movies. What can I say, i'm a sucker for action adventure, comedy and romance all in cinema screening. This week I went to see The Amazing Spider Man starring Andrew Garfield
and Emma Stone.
Now I’ve seen the Amazing Spiderman and I really enjoyed the new twist on the
story line and I think Emma Stone is a great actor however, in this trilogy I
felt it was a bit more ‘cheesy’ than the last one.

I think ‘comic book’ movies
should have a small element of comically value as they are mostly targeted to
an adult and child audience however, I think the balance between ‘comical’ and ‘serious’
is a little disjointed. Also there are various parts towards the film where you
continuously feel like it is coming to an end which makes the film seem like it
drags on a little bit (If you have watched the film, hopefully you will know
what I’m talking about).

All in all, special effects are great but do not have the 'wow' factor. I would definitely give this a watch if you’re a marvels comic book
fan, if not I’d maybe suggest something more action thrilling. My rating for
this film is a 5 /10.
